What this screen is for
IMS is where invoices reported by your suppliers are actioned before they settle into your input tax credit. This screen is the chooser. Inward Supplies takes you to the invoices your suppliers have reported against your GSTIN, where you accept or reject each one and so decide what flows through to your ITC. Outward Supplies shows the B2B supplies you reported in GSTR-1, 1A and IFF, and lets you track records your customers have rejected.
When to use it
Go here when you are working through supplier invoices for a period, or when a customer tells you they have rejected something you reported. The page shows your company name and GSTIN so you can confirm you are on the right registration first.
What you see on this screen
The heading reads IMS - Invoice Management System, with "Manage inward and outward supply invoices" beneath it, and then your company name and GSTIN. Where no GSTIN has been set on the company, that line reads Not configured, and nothing below will work until it is.
The body is two cards, and nothing else:
- Inward Supplies — described as "Review invoices from your suppliers. Accept or reject to manage your Input Tax Credit (ITC)." Its VIEW button opens the inward list.
- Outward Supplies — described as "View B2B supplies reported in GSTR-1/1A/IFF and track rejected records." Its VIEW button opens the outward list.
Filters and actions
There are no filters, tabs or period selectors here; the choice of period belongs to the screen you open. The only actions are the two VIEW buttons. Accepting and rejecting supplier invoices happens on the inward screen, not here.
